Wow, did this make me feel like I was standing in my middle school hallway again. So much love for you and for our younger selves. 💗 If you ever wanted to write about your experiences with learning disabilities, I would certainly love to read your perspective. I recently learned about dyscalculia, and it made so much of my school years finally make sense, but there are so few people that seem to know about it in my (limited) experience.
You just wrote my past, especially the learning disability part, your ability to succeed beyond the labels thrown at you. When I went to school, stupid was the label used for dyslexia. Only my parents belief in me helped me get through school but they couldn't prevent teachers' dismissal and criticism and classmates--and even friends--who found my inability to spell or to make sense of math very funny. Being a girl only compounded the problem since little was expected of me, anyway. As my mom often said to me, scars make you a stronger woman. I didn't like or believed it but--look at you!--she was right.
Thank you for sharing these...I really related to these. Not being popular, developing breasts, the cruelty of kids...ugh. Sending you and those scars all the love!
It hurts me to read your story. It's so heartbreaking when children who are delicate and vulnerable experience such emotional pain as they are growing. Instead of a joyful transition in their youth, it becomes a traumatic ordeal. My heart goes out to you and I truly empathize. ❤️🩹💔💝
Uggh.....kids are so damn cruel ... puberty is a bit grueling.....I myself was a bit overwhelmed....I would read scary books or sci-fi in library...never really popular, just a regular gal... luckily it didn't really bother me... remember I was 13 -15 in the late 60s...so s x drugs and rock and roll....was the theme throughout my entire teen yrs... lol

Thank you for reading and commenting, Kimberly ❤️
I look at it this way, it made me a better writer and more empathetic. Still pissed off but there's always an up side!
Yes for sure!

Oh wow! So sorry that you can relate to this. It’s truly so horrific. We’re so lucky we had parents who were able to advocate for us!
